A blog! A blog! .. I was on such a roll too. I’ve been busy booking Spring Fling Sale portraits (Sale ends soon book yours now!) and celebrating birthdays and milestones. Now, back on the wagon
On a late fall day on York Beach I found out a few things about Nicole & Shawn.
They are creative & fun-o!

They are also full of infectious smiles…

And quiet loving moments.

Braving the beach in October.

Shawn wasn’t so sure about this whole “engagement photo” thing, but being a good fiancé he followed along with his wife-to-be’s wishes; and I’m certainly glad he did.

And he was a good sport about it (my favorite!)

And those smiles again! Every time I see these two I grin right along with them.

Nicole & Shawn — thank you SO much for meeting up with me to roam around the beach. Just a few more months til we return to the scene of the crime on York Beach for your wedding! I’m super excited
Don’t wear yourself out with all the day-caring and pizza-making before then!

I’m always (quite pleasantly!) surprised by how mountainous the Concord backdrop is.
I have a tendency to follow the sunset — in doing so we wandered down the steep hill and past a fence and stumbled onto this beautiful little pond.
And into some forest. I can’t get over how easy these two are in front of the camera.
Patrick accused me of being distracted from the task and taking photos of only the trees; when I showed him the photo on the right he was surprised they were in the shot too. Go go gadget wide.angle.lens!
Full color or black and white, these two are superstars!
Thanks for a great afternoon guys — next time I need to not forget the whoopie pies!
Oh fall, how you taunt me with your colors! (Although, it was not even a little bit warm when we started this shoot, but the sun made a very welcomed appearance by the end!!)
I LOVE old barns.
Aren’t they awesome? So completely at ease with each other.
Then we headed over to nearby
Yum!
These two are serious cuteness. I cannot wait for their wedding in September!







I love love love the colors with these two. From their hair to their eyes to their wardrobe. It’s just awesome.
